EUGENE, Ore. – Six Oregon Tech players scored in double-figures, as the Hustlin' Owls rode a 61% shooting night to a convincing 90-74 victory over Bushnell University inside Morse Event Center.
 
OIT (7-3, 3-1 CCC) held the hosts in check, limiting the Beacons to a 36.5% night from the field – including a 5-minute stretch in the second half without a made field goal, part of a game-changing 16-2 run.
 
The Owls never trailed on the night, but led just 67-62 following a Kaleb Burnett 3-pointer with 10 minutes to play. Lay-ups from Jamison Guerra and Kam Osborn started the flurry, Jared Sucher added a 15-foot baseline jumper and both Jackson Cooper and Blake Jensen converted on the block – as Tech stretched the lead to 83-64 with four minutes remaining.
 
Playing without Guerra and Cooper much of the first half, Dakota Reber stepped up off the bench, scoring all 11 of his points in the opening 20 minutes – including a triple and step-back 15-footer – part of a 9-2 run that broke a 28-28 tie.
 
Osborn scored 15 points, with Jensen converting 6-of-7 field goals, ending the night with 15 points and eight rebounds. Cooper and Erik Fraser joined Reber in the 11-point club, with scoring 11 points and a team-best nine assists.
 
Cory Johnson had 17 points, with Kaleb Burnett (13 points, 10 rebounds) and Ashton Harvey (10 points, 12 rebounds) each recording double-doubles for the Beacons (4-6, 1-3) – who stayed in the game thanks to 19 second-chance points off 20 offensive rebounds.
 
Tech closes out the road trip tomorrow with a date at first-place Corban, with tip-off set for 5 p.m. – live on 92.5 KLAD-FM.
